I have noticed that it have been editing my Google Contacts numbers when they dial in. it would add a bunch of random numbers to the end of their saved number (0001492896463288). So when they actually call, the name would not show up since it doesn't match the one that is saved.

Can you let us know which version of the app you're seeing this happen from? (Android, iOS and version number please).

It shouldn't be adding anything random, there is some logic that happens for when they call in on one of your non-native numbers, but what you're describing sounds odd and definitely want the team to take a look.

I'm sorry we didn't get back to you but I'll get you taken care of today. I'm going to send you a private message to gather information needed to file a bug report with our DIGITS team. You can check your inbox by going here.

I have had the same issue to some extent since Digits started. It has become more noticeable lately. I have had at least 3 phones and a LineLink working in Digits at the same time for a while. Two of the phones are using the Samsung Multi Line.

A guess would be that it is related to the Name ID: service. When Name ID: identifies one of my contacts, the contact's number has been corrupted with the extra numbers. I don't know if the service is causing it or is catching it after the fact. All of my phones are using the same Google contact list and all are corrupted exactly the same. I use a phone with the Digits app to correct the contact number using that phone's native contact app and the other phones' contacts are immediately updated / corrected.

Thanks for chiming in and letting us know that this isn't a one-off situation. I'm going to send both of you PM's so that I can gather more specific info to file a bug report. You can check your inbox by going here.

For all those who have been having this issue. Can you please find the contacts that have been inappropriately edited and fix them? Once you've fixed them, the team is saying that you should be okay and it shouldn't be doing this any more. However if you're still seeing it after you've cleaned up your contacts can you let us know so that we can get someone to look again at this?

Yes, I am still using the I.D. service. I have the call info is announced when the phone is ringing. Yesterday was the first time since Evans message that this has happened. I found an app that lets me lets print my contact list info to a PDF file. Then I search for "000" in Adobe Reader. This morning (and now) there were 5 contact numbers with the the extra digits. I will correct them and let you know if or when it happens again.

By the way, it would be nice if I did not have to edit my contacts from outside of MultiLine (I do not want a default line assigned to my contacts). I always have to logout of MultiLine or use a none MultiLine phone.
